Предварительные результаты радиолокационного спутникового мониторинга пленочных загрязнений Баренцева моря

Analyzed are the preliminary results of satellite radar monitoring of oil spills in the Barents Sea. For the first time on a regular basis, it took place in 2015 – 2016 using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images of the European Space Agency’ Sentinel-1A satellite. To effectively analyze radar data used geoinformation (GIS) approach, in which on-line GIS or geoportal based on GeoMixer technology, a large volume of oceanographic, physical-geographical and industrial information about the water basin has been collected, including on oil and gas infrastructure and the vulnerability of the coasts, have been used. With the use of new approaches and methods of analysis and data automatic ship identification systems it is shown that main source of oil spills with area from 0.5 to 90 km 2 is a cargo shipping and fishing. Summary maps of detected and mapped oil spills in 2015 – 2016 are presented and discussed.
